When I was googling to see what quote would be appropriate for this auspicious Independence Day, I saw this and it blew my mind. I mean, LBJ really had it down when he said it. The clause for it is that while God is willing which I believe He always will be, but the other part of the condition is that we must be strong enough to keep the faith. To be brutally honest, I feel that we have lost the faith that so empowered our founding fathers that established this country on prayer. In those days that's all they had. Fast forward two hundred thirty-five years later, and we have become so complacent that we refuse to incorporate prayer into our lives. Yet, in the midst of opposition, there are a few folks whom God sees as worth it to keep it going for. That is how gracious our God is.
In the previous post, I forgot to post about my evening. Sunday, July 3, 2011 evening was a great one. I got to have a family bar-b-q with my friend and his family and cousins. Uncle really rocked the bbq with his grilling skills. Also, his cousins were a riot. We all joked around and just had a fun time.
On America' birthday, Monday, July 4, 2011, we kept the party going. We did everything that a typical American is supposed to do on this great day. We had bbq for lunch at a friend's house. Then, we went swimming at my friend's cousin's house. Then, we grabbed dinner at Five Guys. We caught some fireworks. We officially ended the day with some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Halo: Reach.
Currently, I'm not getting much practical training because there are no Achens. I promise I'm not flaking out here.
"Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God."
